Matched,
is a dystopian novel created by Ally Condie. This is the first book of a
trilogy. In this story, “Cassia has
always trusted their [society’s] choices. It’s hardly any price to pay for a
long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on
the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the
one…until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to
black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky,
between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared
follow—between perfection and passion.” (goodreads.com) After reading this
book, Ally Condie became one of my favorite authors. Her stories are unique and
different than other books I have read. I would rate Matched five out of
five stars. My love for this book started when a friend recommended it to me
and now I am recommending it to you! 
The
next book being reviewed is Stung by Bethany Wiggins. Ms. Kysar
recommended this book to me, and I’m glad she did. Stung is a dystopian novel set in a
futuristic society. This is the first book out of a two book series. In Stung,
“There is no cure for being stung. Fiona doesn’t remember going to sleep. But
when she awakens, her world no longer exists. Her house is abandoned and
broken. Her neighborhood is barren and dead, and there is a tattoo on her right
hand…a tattoo Fiona doesn’t remember getting but somehow she must conceal at
any cost.” (goodreads.com) Bethany Wiggins is my favorite author because
of how she introduces the topic of the world being in total chaos and explains
every little detail. I would rate Stung
four out of five stars because of the constant action and suspense on every
page. Stay tuned for two more book recommendations next month!
